Windows 10: Where can I purchase a valid windows 10 pro

Thinking of upgrading from Windows 7 to 10 pro. Where can I purchase a valid windows 10 pro? I prefer a stand alone full installation, but will consider the upgrade version, if that is all I can get.

Can't upgrade from Windows 10 Home to Pro

Hi Bill,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community. We apologize for the inconvenience caused and will assist you in the best possible ways.

I suggest you to download and create an installation media for Windows 10 Pro form the link provided below:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/software-download/windows10

After the installation media is created, suggest you to upgrade to Windows 10 Pro from the installation media. When the upgrade asks for product key, enter the product key purchased for Windows 10 Pro. If it does not accept, suggest you to skip the activation
step. After the Operating System is installed, suggest you to activate by phone by following the steps below:

• Press “Windows key + R” and type “slui 4” and press Enter.
• Select the Region from the list and click Next.
• Call the Toll-Free number provided on top and can activate via phone.

Hope this helps. Keep us posted on the status for further assistance.

 

Windows 10 Home to Pro upgrade problem

I bought a new PC with Windows 10 Home and after making sure it was up to date I went to Settings/Update/Activation/Microsoft Store and purchased the Windows 10 Pro upgrade. I clicked Install on the Microsoft Store window and when done I got the following error. "We can't activate Windows on this device because you don't have a valid digital license or product key. If you think you do have a valid license or key, select Troubleshoot below. Error code: 0xC004C003"

I clicked on Troubleshoot and it couldn't solve the problem and said to contact support for help which was no help as it just referenced a bunch of articles.

One thing I noticed is it shows Windows 10 Enterprise as the version. I purchased the Windows 10 Pro upgrade. I didn't know there was an Enterprise version and it wasn't listed on the upgrade page.

Any suggestions?

 

Purchasing legal upgrade Windows 10 Home to Win 10 Pro

Hi,



I realized your concern and will assist you to resolve the issue.

To upgrade from Windows 10 Home to Windows 10 Pro, you'll need either a digital entitlement or a valid product key:

• 
  A digital entitlement for Windows 10 Pro for the device you're upgrading. You'll have a digital entitlement if Windows 10 Pro was already installed and activated on your device.
  
• 
  A valid Windows 10 Pro product key.
  
• 
  A valid Windows 8 Pro or Windows 8.1 Pro product key (including Windows 8 Pro Pack and Windows 8.1 Pro Pack product keys).
  
• 
  A valid Windows 7 Ultimate or Windows 7 Professional product key.
  
  Note.
  
• 
  If you don't have a digital entitlement or a product key, you can buy Windows 10 Pro from the Windows Store. Select the Start button, select
  Settings > Update & security > Activation, and then select
  Go to Store.
  

• 
  If your device is running Windows 7 Ultimate, Windows 7 Professional, Windows 8.1 Pro, or Windows 8.1 Pro for Students, you can upgrade directly to Windows 10 Pro for free. For more info, see
